      abstract = {The practice of traditional medicine has been affected by challenges such as arrival of Europeans which marked a significant turning point in the history of this age, long tradition culture which threatened its survival. However, the practice of traditional medicine among the Nandi could have been affected by challenges such as modernization, stigmatization, and urbanization. This paper has elucidated the significance of the traditional religious practices on traditional medicine among the Nandi of Uasin Gishu County including curative significance where different health issues facing community members were  dealt with accordingly, use in religious and cultural activities where sacrifices were offered to god as a form of worship to god , maintaining peace and order where errand members were brought to order by being punished using a certain tree species observing totems, taboos, rituals among other functions.},
